======================================================

GETTING STARTEDINTRODUCTION

Just a few words before we dive in …

Now let’s get on with it!

======================================================

GETTING STARTED1 – Purchasing Your Domain Name

Now comes the fun part … AND the part where you’ll begin to get just a glimmer of the true value of your new GVO account. We’re now going to get your new domain name, set upyour hosting account for your domain at GVO, and then install a WordPress blog on your newly hosted domain. Once that’s done … you’ll have your own, brand new web page … just like this one!This new web page will be your “home base” online. Everything you do will revolve around this new website and it will become a vital and ever changing part of your new Internet business.

One note before we begin: When you purchase your new domain name, I suggest you use YOUR OWN NAME as the domain, if possible. You’ll see that this website is located at “stevegaghagen.com”.Using your own name brands YOU … it reminds people of who you are and reminds them where they can find your website. Now, if you have a very common name, like Joe Smith or Tom Brown, you mightfind the domain is not available. If that’s the case, you might see if “YOURNAME.net” is available. If it’s not, then it’s time to get creative. I recommend you stay away from the “.biz”, “.info” ,etc., suffixes. People don’t remember them and they are very prone to being spammed all the time.

Also, I want to reiterate … if you have questions about this process or run into problems … please feel free to use the “Contact Me” page and contact me. I really am here to help and want tobe of any assistance I can. Also, the Live Help guys at GVO that you’ll find under “Support” are the best in the business. They have helped me countless times, and they will simply amaze you at howwilling they are to help and how efficient they are at doing so … so don’t be shy about contacting them either.

All right! Onward and upward!

======================================================

GETTING STARTED2 – Set Up Your Web Host Account

Now you’ve purchased your own domain name, and if you’ve followed the instructions correctly so far, it’s available to you for hosting in your GVO account. This next step willactivate your web hosting account for your new domain, and get it Live on the web.

When you’ve completed this step … simply go on to #3 …

======================================================

GETTING STARTED3 – Install A WordPress Blog On Your New Domain

Now that your new domain is set up and it’s hosting account is activated, we need to have a way to create a website there. For this purpose I recommend installing the WordPress bloginterface. It’s fairly simple to learn to use, it’s very Search Engine friendly … and it’s very powerful … allowing you to create a website that will really BRAND YOU! The website you’re onright now is a WordPress blog mounted on my own domain at GVO. When this step is completed, you will have the ability to create a website just like this to help you in your online business.

Let’s get on with it!

CONGRATULATIONS!

You’ve now completed all the steps in the Getting Started section. You’ve purchased your own domain name through GVO, you’ve activated your webhost account for that domain, andyou’ve installed a WordPress blog interface so you can not begin to build your own website!

Now … what’s next?

The next step … now that you’ve gotten started … is GETTING GOING!

======================================================

GETTING GOINGIntroduction

The “Getting Going” process is all about preparing your new website to be a real “List Building Machine”.

Building a list is the most important thing you’ll do working online. Always remember: EVERYTHING is about building your list. If you focus 85% of your time and efforts towardsgetting new subscribers to your personal mailing list … you will succeed in this business. I never measure the success of any given business day by how many people have joined my business or howmuch money I’ve made that day. I measure it by HOW MANY NEW SUBSCRIBERS TO MY LIST HAVE OPTED IN THAT DAY. If that number is steadily increasing … I’m succeeding.

So … how do we use our new website to build our list?

Scroll up to the top of this page and see what’s on the right hand side right near the top. You’ll find a form that you can use to subscribe to my mailing list. It appears directlyon every page of this site.

That form is connected to my autoresponder at GVO. The minute someone uses the form, their information is entered into my contact list, they receive a welcome letter … and I canmail to them from then on as long as they wish to remain on my list.

This is the true power of a website like this. You should NEVER have a website out there on the Internet that does not have some way for folks to subscribe to your list.

Now, how you use your list … how you retain subscribers … those are subjects for another time. Right now, we’re simply concerned with getting your website to the point of beingable to connect you with new subscribers. The “Getting Going” section below will take you through two simple steps:

Setting up your first “Campaign” in your GVO autoresponder.

Mounting a subscription form on your website attached to that campaign.

If we’re going to have subscribers and contacts … we need to have someplace to put them, and we need an automated system to welcome them right when they subscribe. This is whatyour GVO autresponder is for. This video will walk you through the steps of setting up a campaign so your system will capture your subscriber’s information and immediately welcome them to yourlist.

When you’ve completed this step … simply move on …

======================================================

GETTING GOING2 – Mounting A Subscription Form On Your New Website

This is so simple you won’t believe it.

Now, this will be the first time you’ll be inside your WordPress Dashboard … the place where you’ll actually build your website. WP can be an intimidating place if you try to takeit in all at once. There is a learning curve here, but really it’s not complicated and you’ll do fine if you simply take things one step at a time … and GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO LEARN.

For this last step in our Getting Started/Getting Going process, however, we’re not going to be concerned with anything but the single task at hand: getting our subscription form onthe site. You can dive into site design afterwards … but this step is vital and the only thing we’ll focus on here.

You’ve done it!

Was that so difficult?

======================================================

WOW! That’s a lot of stuff … but you got it done, and you now have a Home Base for all your Internet business!

So … what’s to do now?

Once you’ve completed all of the above steps … CONTACT ME. Tell me you’ve got it done, and we’ll arrange a time to get together to discuss just what comes next! We need to put ourheads together and come up with a Business Plan past this point that’s CUSTOMIZED to fit YOU. There are a lot of ways to do business on the Internet …. a lot of Systems, a lot of Techniques, alot of Resources. If you and I can talk together, I can put my years of experience into play to help you bypass a lot of the “hard knocks” – type of experiences you hear so much about. That’sreally what I’m here for and what I can offer you … a way to minimize the bad parts of the learning curve, and maximize the good parts.

So … You’ll find all my information on the Contact Me page, and I really do look forward to hearing from you.

And … Congratulations once again! If you’ve completed the simple steps above, you really are well on your way to success online!

Have A GREAT DAY!
